@TiarksJotham @HalfTangible The entire history of the Apostolic traditions indicate otherwise. The two aren't mutually exclusive. It may well be just to hang the rapist, but God's infallible Church mandates he be offered the sacrament of confession prior to his execution. A pardon from Hell itself if taken.

"According to Jesus we're supposed to turn the other cheek when we're hurt, right?" "Yes. In Jesus' time, a person that backhanded your cheek was treating you as lesser. So you turn the other cheek, forcing them to strike you as an equal." "What does that have to do with immigration?" "The contention is that immigrants are allowed to treat us as lesser because they come from incompatible cultures and attack us. But we can't then tell them no, because that's 'racist'." "That seems contrary to what Jesus taught." "It is, and amazingly so. Non-Christians often seize on the idea that Jesus advocated for non-violence to tell Christians to shut up and take what's being done to them." "Are you sure that's what Jesus taught? It's not like you could ask him personally. He predates you by a millennium, right?" "Jesus makes the same point with the story of giving away your cloak, and with going the extra mile. In the latter's case, a Roman soldier could make an Israelite carry anything like a pack mule for up to a mile. It was a humiliation. But Jesus told them to carry it another mile, to treat the Roman as you would a friend, which would both shame them and force them to treat you as a person instead of a mule." "What about the cloak?" "When you're poor and living in an ancient society, your cloak is vital for getting through the cold nights. In Jesus' time, it was common to get around this by demanding the other person give you their shirt. But if you give them the cloak as well, it is a deliberate provocation: if they take the shirt and cloak, they will be shamed by the community." "And... the good samaritan?" "The point was the man who was a neighbor was not the priest or the Levite, but the one who showed mercy to his neighbor. It doesn't say 'everyone is your neighbor', in fact it states the opposite rather plainly. It's your actions that make you a neighbor, NOT your ethnicity." "So, not everyone is your neighbor?" "The neighbor shows mercy to those who have been hurt." "What does that have to do with immigration?" "Nothing. They've decided it means that you must allow immigrants to raid and attack you and treat you like garbage without retaliation of any sort. You can't even say 'stop it' without being declared racist." "Then why did he bring up Christianity at all?" "Because he's not a Christian and doesn't understand it."

Christ’s gospel was so radical, so contrary to the wisdom of the world, that people are still coping 2000 years later, insisting that he didn’t actually mean what he said.

@TiarksJotham @HalfTangible It's alright your tweet made me go through the replies and I saw it. And my request was sincere because before I went looking I was starting to wonder if my eyes were filtering that part out.

@daltonisbatman @HalfTangible “He said to them, “But now, the one who has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag too. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one.” Luke 22:36

@HalfTangible Jesus chose to be executed by His nation's people without any mounting any defense His disciples, almost without exception, submitted to brutal execution at the hands of men who hated Christ and the church, also without offering any defense

@HalfTangible "Turn the other cheek", and "love thy enemy" were not instructions not to fight, or to offer a man raping your wife your own ass when the rapist finishes with her. It means when you cut people down, you do not do so out of anger, but rather for just cause.

@HalfTangible You forgot to mention where corded a whip and sacked the church for some impure behaviours. Understanding the context in the actions of Jesus Christ is always wonderful.

@AcosmicOtaku @HalfTangible The point is to show mercy to all in need… Criminals are not “in need” of mercy, they are in need of justice! Prosecute, deport, and in capital offenses: EXECUTE

@HalfTangible Kinda glossed over the Good Samaritan, given that both Samaritans & Jews claimed to be the rightful heirs to the Mosaic & Abrahamic faith & so regarded each other with enmity. A Samaritan helping a Jew, or vice versa, would've been radically shocking to the audience at the time.

@HalfTangible @kangminlee Turning the other cheek is the 2nd sentence in Matthew 5:39 (Mt 5:39b). Make sure you also read the 1st sentence, Mt 5:39a, do not resist an evil person!

@SquibbleDeeBop @HalfTangible “If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink, for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will reward you.” Proverbs 25:21-22

@HalfTangible Jesus, quite famously, explains the meanings and details of his parables at length. If he meant "you should act to shame.your opporessors", he would have said so clearly.
